How Gray Was My Valley


All the wildfires in Idaho and surrounding states made this a very ugly place. I think some of the fires are still going, but we're making progress! At least there's only some haze in the air now.

I think this is a mourning dove. We have a lot of them around, making their cute little cooing sounds. I have a very soft spot in my heart for these creatures. When my wife and I married in 1980, there was a mourning dove that nested on her porch in Santa Monica, and the sound of its cooing (and that of its chicks) was very satisfying in the mornings.
